When I wrote “RUN SAKAMOTO RUN”,
I aimed to convey the inspirational protagonist Sakamoto's overwhelming, unmatched strength.
I was fortunate to have the opportunity to record the song in London, which gave it a unique sound, making it a piece I can truly say I gave my all to.
I hope the song ‘runs’ together with the manga, anime, and all of you guys!

We are thrilled to announce that our song "FUTSUU" has been chosen as the ending theme for the TV anime SAKAMOTO DAYS!
This marks our very first anime tie-in, and we couldn't be more honored.
When we first received the offer, we were overjoyed and a bit surprised, but those feelings quickly turned into determination. With that excitement in our hearts, we poured everything into creating this song.
You might be wondering, “A title called ‘FUTSUU’?”
Well, the lyrics reflect Aoi's feelings toward Sakamoto. They're filled with warm and heartfelt words, so we hope you'll take a moment to listen closely and feel the emotions in the song.
Watch SAKAMOTO DAYS as much as you can, listen to "FUTSUU" over and over, and let's create an amazing anime experience together!
